On April 10, I will be flying to Israel to go on a pilgrimage through the Holy Land. On April 12, we will begin at the Sea of Galilee, remembering the many things Jesus did there, including call people to follow him:

As Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea—for they were fishermen. And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fish for people.” Immediately they left their nets and followed him. As he went from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed him. (Matthew 4:18-22)

I invite you to follow me--and the other pilgrims going with me--as we travel through the Holy Land. I will be posting pictures and reflections of the holy sites. So be sure to travel with us by checking out the Pastor's Blog on our church web-site (www.cpcba.org).
